[Intro]

Same old shit, dog, just a different day

It is not a fuckin' game (You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play)

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

If it's fuck me, nigga, you know it's fuck you

[Verse 1]

I kick it to shorty to try to help him understand (Uh)

Hit him with work, 'cause yo, that's my little man (Uh-huh)

He asked a few questions 'bout the game and I told him (Yeah)

So when he made a bad move, it was my place to scold him (A'ight)

Never told him nothin' wrong, kept it fair

Didn't listen, so I might as well have been talkin' to the air (Damn)

Everybody makes mistakes, a mistake is a'ight

But if it ain't, I'ma tell you straight, time to say goodnight

Nobody likes to be played, regardless of the relationship

But shorty's fuckin' up big time, I hate this shit

I'm caught in the middle of havin' love for a lil nigga

And knowin' what's expected of me as a real nigga (Damn)

My next move is crucial, what do I do?

How do I keep it real with shorty and my crew?

Didn't wanna kill him, so instead of puttin' the MAC on him

I did the only thing I could do, turn my back on him

[Chorus]

Here we go again

Same old shit, dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me, nigga, then you know it's fuck you

[Verse 2]

Niggas that I fuck with wanna get him dead

But I'm cool with shorty's peoples, so I let him live

Under normal circumstances, he would be a marked man

But I hit him with a grand, just didn't shake his hand (Ooh)

Go about your business (Uh-huh), do what you gon' do (Uh)

Be what you gon' be, I wash my hands, I'm through (A'ight)

I can forgive, I just can't forget

You're on your own, little man, don't ask me for shit (No)

If you paid attention to what I taught you, then you good (Uh)

If I see you again, get it, understood?

Go 'head before I change my mind 'cause you know you should be dead

"I just wanted to say—," ah, go ahead

Instinct told me to kill him, but the savior is

I'm a good nigga, plus I owed his peeps a favor (Mmm)

But I also knew the decision I just made (Yeah)

Went against the rules of the game that we play (Damn)

[Chorus]

Here we go again

Same old shit, dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me, nigga, then you know it's fuck you

[Verse 3]

I should've followed my first instinct 'cause I knew (Right)

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do (True)

Now this nigga's fuckin' with the competition (What)

Ungrateful motherfucker, should've got him missin' (What)

This nigga got the nerve to take my kindness for a weakness

Gots to get back on some street shit so I can creep this

Rat, when I act, take one, set him up

Take two, get him there, take three, get him done

Wasn't hard for me to get him where I wanted him, confronted him

Bzzt, click, there was a bullet in one of them

Feelin' lucky? Click, looks like you are

Click-click-click, luck ain't goin' too far (Uh)

What you did was put on another pair of shoes

And they just happened to be too big

What you did was stupid (Damn), real fuckin' stupid (A'ight)

Well, shorty, I gave you a chance and what did you do?

Threw it back in my fuckin' face, so fuck you too (A'ight)

[Chorus]

Here we go again

Same old shit, dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me, nigga, then you know it's fuck you

Here we go again

Same old shit, dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me, nigga, then you know it's fuck you
